Mark Zuckerberg and Marc Andreessen pay tribute to a Silicon Valley legend in this heartwarming video

Late last month, former Intel CEO and Chairman Andy Grove was
given the honor of the 2015 Legendary Leader award at the 5th
Annual Churchills.

During the event, venture capitalist
Ben Horowitz came on stage and played a heartwarming video
starring some of today’s most powerful tech leaders, including
Marc Andreessen, John Doerr, Mark Zuckerberg, and Drew Houston,
among others.

Here are some of the things they said in the video:

Bill Campbell (Intuit founder): “Andy Grove
is the quintessential manager of our time. He is absolutely the
best.”

Marc Andreessen, cofounder of Andreessen
Horowitz: “I think Andy built Silicon Valley…some
of that had to do with the role Intel played. Andy kind of
exemplifies the best of Silicon Valley, and Andy kind of set the
model for what a high-quality Silicon Valley company could be.”

John Doerr, Kleiner Perkins Caufield and
Byers senior partner: “I think he’s one of the
men who’s made this great Silicon Valley, and without a doubt,
responsible for the most important, high technology company
ever.”

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO: “His book
really played a big role in shaping my management style.”

Drew Houston, Dropbox CEO: “He acknowledges
reality, doesn’t oversimplify things, just every year I find
myself coming back to a lot of the lessons that he’s written
out.”

Grove was Intel’s very first hire and is responsible for growing
the company from a small startup to one of the most powerful tech
companies of all time. His relentless work ethic and bruising
management style have earned the respect of many followers, and
his book, “Only the Paranoid Survive,” is considered a must-read
management book by many business leaders.

1:25:45 mark; the tribute video starts at 1:41:54):
